Churros

Description: Churros are a traditional Mexican dessert. Similar to a donut, these fritters are crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. They are coated with cinnamon and sugar and sometimes dipped in chocolate. Enjoy.

Recipe: 1 tablespoon sugar, plus 2/3 cup to roll the churros in 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour Vegetable oil to a depth of 1 inch for frying 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (preferably Mexican canela)
 * 2 vegetable oil

Dough: In medium saucepan combine the oil, 1 tbsp sugar and salt with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Remove from the head and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously until it forms a smooth ball.

Frying: Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a baking pan. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Put dough into a cookie press or pastry bag with 3/8 inch fluted opening. Press out 5 inches of dough and fry 2-4 minutes, until crispy and browned.
